It can be easy to forget for fans who have spent years in the Online game since last touching the storyline, but GTA Online was initially a bust.
Isaac, 19, has played it since the start, one of group who got their hands on the game as a tween and are now college-age: “Although the cultural satire has aged, the gamification of Los Santos has turned a realistic interpretation of LA into more of a backdrop to the chaos of flying Deloreans, hovering bikes and tanks in the city, biker gangs roaming the northern parts of San Andreas, with James Bond villain bunkers scattering the countryside laying dormant with weapon labs and government technology.” For all, the discord and widening chasm between the single and multi-games, fans say Online Los Santos works now better than ever. But it ends with Tron bike races, jetpacks, and miniguns. The teaser trailer for PS5 re-release begins by teasing a return to Los Santos familiar neighbourhoods and lives of story-mode characters Michael, Trevor, and Franklin.
